Why a Barclays Apprenticeship?

• Our Foundation Apprenticeship will build your skills and set you on the path to becoming a fully-fledged professional. You’ll gain professional qualifications equivalent to two A Levels, and you’ll be a full-time employee from day one, which means you don’t have to apply for a job with us at the end: you’ll already have one.
• We’ve spent 11 years perfecting the support that you’ll receive on our Apprenticeship programme. That starts with our market-leading Talent Coach model: from day one, you’ll be assigned a talent coach matched to your needs and background, and together with your line manager, they’ll support you as an individual. We’ll also match you to an expert in your specialist subject, ready to share their knowledge.
  
• The Apprenticeship route gives you the opportunity for self-discovery and helps you to explore different career paths. With over 325 years of expertise in Banking, Barclays operates in over 40 countries, employing over 80,000 people to help move, lend, invest and protect money for customers and clients worldwide. Giving you endless opportunities to network and discover what makes you tick.
  
• Our programme is open to anyone, no matter your background or your age. So you’ll be joining an Apprenticeship cohort who are from all different walks of life, whether that’s school leavers starting their career, ex-military wanting to kick-start a career in the corporate world to parents wanting to return to work after having time off.
  

Technology at Barclays

Why build a career in Technology in our global business? Because this is where some of the industry’s biggest innovations were born – and you could create the next. Join us and work alongside industry experts who are behind major leaps in FinTech. You’ll be following our innovative learning programme which includes on-the-job training and valuable hands-on experience.

Our Technology Apprenticeship is the perfect option if you want a rewarding technology career that isn't just focused on writing code. Even if you have no technology experience, your university studies will equip you with the foundations of programming, data analysis and technology and your role at Barclays will enable you to apply that to the real world. Whether you're a Business Analyst focusing on analysing and presenting data to stakeholders, or you're a Project Manager supporting developers to build and launch a new app. If you're a problem solver by nature and communication skills come naturally to you, this programme is the perfect way to launch your career in tech.

Are you eligible?

• First, you’ll need the right qualifications. For Technology roles in England you'll need 5 GCSEs at A*-C (9-5) including Maths and English (or equivalent)
  
• Technology roles are wide-ranging – so you don’t have to become a coder to thrive here. What you do need though is the will to learn and the commitment to see your programme through. And of course, you’ll need a keen interest in helping us create the future of our bank. Ready to think differently about what’s possible in the tech world? Bring your ideas here.
